SBR tax stamp.

Oh man... that's a winner for sure. The price is right on and the sentiment is perfect.

Guys, really . . .

#18 [post=7524529]OP announces his decision[/post].

And then we get a series of "not really reading this thread, but here's my opinion" posts.

This isn't a long thread.

Slow down a tad. Take the time to read the thread. Otherwise, what's the point?

Nothing is proved by quick-draw replies, especially when the target you're shootin' at has already moved on.

AG... it's just friendly continued discussion. I think most of us have either followed the thread or have read it all. But there are still pertinent discussing points. No harm, not foul, right?

The above stated: You Mods are doing an awesome job and we (most of us anyway) appreciate your time and knowledge.

Pics, we wanna see pics!

Great find. I'm sure with having the gun as a family heirloom, his memory will remain as long as whoever has the gun knows his story.

Is one of the rules " read all post prior to responding? "

Nope, it's not a rule, just common courtesy. Reading through the thread or at least seeing if the OP has followed up with more information indicates one is interesting in participating in a dialogue with other members of the board rather than just rushing to post one's opinion and moving on to the next thread.

Roger sir, driving on.

Beautiful decision. When you have the money, engrave something on it to your friend and tell your daughter to never forget him.

It was a prison trade in. The backstrap reads, "Bureau of Corrections" - I thought that a fitting inscription for a handgun for my daughter.

I'll try to get pix posted up in a day or two. It's nothing special, as far as looks. What makes this one special is how it was acquired, whom it is for, and the connection of it's DOB and her DOB.
